Lush, dreamy and big on Caribbean flavor  

Caribbean DelightsCaribbean DelightsSt. Kitts & Nevis - a dual-island nation - offer some of the tastiest food in the southern Caribbean.

Thankfully, it doesn't really matter which island you visit, you're in for a gastronomical treat. You'll be tempted at every corner - everything here is displayed with an I-know-you-want-it attitude - but don't miss the real gems.

  

  

St. Kitts

  • Rawlins Plantation: Lunch on a patio - any patio, really - is as much a Kittian tradition as high tea in Britain. If the jerk chicken, candied sweet potatoes or breadfruit curry aren't enough to entice you, the view of St. Eustatius and the glittering Caribbean ocean will seal the deal. (Lunch approx $65-$75US, Dinner $100-$125US)
  • Turtle Beach Bar & Grill: Honey-mustard ribs, coconut-shrimp salad and bread pudding in rum sauce add up to a popular local watering hole. You can even feed the monkeys (they belly up to the bar demanding green bananas and peaches), watch the hawksbill turtles and rent a kayak or snorkeling equipment. Come Friday night for the lobster, Sunday for dancing and live bands. (Lunch approx $12-$20US, Dinner approx $20-$30US)

 

Nevis

  • The Hermitage: The menu changes nightly at this plantation-style inn, but the dishes are always filled with their privately grown pork, lamb and produce. And if you feel a metaphysical crisis coming on - yes, the food is this good - the property is in the shape of a cross, so relax. Dinner is the social event of the day here, and the open-air dining room is hailed as one of the finest on the island. (Lunch approx $25US, Dinner fixed price $50)

  • Sunshine's Bar & Grill: Drinking 8 Killer Bees (a deliriously sweet rum drink) earns you a free appetizer. You can kiss sobriety away though. The owner, a dreadlocked ex-caddie, grills chicken, seafood and ribs while posing for pictures with his celebrity guests. Come for sustenance, enjoy the vibe. (Lunch $10US-$12US, Dinner $20US-$30US)

  • On 5 Nudist Resorts that Will Blow Your Mind, Julia Rosien said "Thanks Tom! I've long wanted to visit Terra Cotta but every time I make it to California, it slips off my radar. I am resolved to do it though - and I will be sure to call and ask for you! Julia"

  • On 5 Nudist Resorts that Will Blow Your Mind, Tom Mulhall said "Hi Julia, Thanks, I remember your story about us too, thank you very much about it. Because we're the most mainstream nudist resort out west and perfect for first time couples trying topless or nude sunbathing and the most popular nudist resort in California, a lot of times people forget we're also one of the most luxurious because we're so affordable. We're able to keep our rates affordable because we cater to vacationers around the world and are busy 7 days a week, instead of just catering to the local Southern Californian market on weekends. Julia, Feel free visiting our resort someday. We would love to show you it and you can experience for yourself why we're the most popular place out west. You can call and ask for me personally. Tom"

  • On 5 Nudist Resorts that Will Blow Your Mind, Julia Rosien said "Thanks for stopping by, Tom and reminding me about the Terra Cotta Inn. I've written about this beautiful spot in California: http://gogirlfriend.com/reviews/top-10-clothing-optional-resorts-exposed-12930 - and it's nice to hear the inn is still going strong. Always love to hear from my readers! Julia"

  • On 5 Nudist Resorts that Will Blow Your Mind, Tom Mulhall said "Hi Julia, Great choices. However, you left out one of the best choices for couples and girlfriend vacations. You forgot The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa in sunny Palm Springs, CA. Some people still enjoy paying lots of money for their vacations. But nowadays most people now look for the best value for their vacation dollars, not bragging rights on how much they overpaid. And the Terra Cotta Inn is perfect. That's why repeat guests from around the world will fly only there for their naturist vacations I realize you could only include 5 places in your story, and not everyone always wants to know about the popular resorts that everyone wants to go to, but I bet your readers will thank you for telling them about Terra Cotta Inn."
